i can remeber the opposite at workington a good few years back when alan mogridge had a few words with kenny feeron the old start marshall on his next vist he brought kenny a dummy much to the crowds entertainment just be carefull cookie dosnt return in force im led to believe he changed his setup saturday and scored a max at berwick

i wasnt there and ill hold my hands up and say ive never been to glasgow but its a pitty more dont look at the actual meetings instead of the final scores riders should be judged on there on track efforts not what they score in the meeting

looks like the problem is down to the people who set them up then

yeah that was in the edinbrugh press release i believe just bumping up the"(beaten before thye turn up) comets so the not as good as they think monarchs look better on the night no one at workington believes we have 5 heat leaders most people from around actualy say workington are a weak team so why does the team that thinks there the greatest have to over hype the visiting team

final score 56 -37 thats pritty good score for workington in recent years

and workington have put theres up to £15 still dosnt mean that £15 is the right price as allready said personaly and i know im not alone if pl speedway was £10 im sure they would get lot more in at most tracks i know my son would go most weeks at £10 as it is he cant afford to go every week or even every other week so dosnt go at all anymore something we talk about a lot and disagree with the people i go speedway with to be competative you need to speend big gone are the days when riders fetle there own bikes

i agree you get a few gp riders but as a package the elite is poor product when you look at the sweedish league for example that was aired on eurosport last year

too early to say but id put money on that the prem will be more entertaining than the elite over the season

not exactley how i or many others would describe jim

obviously you were fast asleep this morning when the rain was torential read offical statement even jim mcgregor had inspected track this morning and said it wasnt raceable

wish i could have made it down the video posted at the start of thread is a bit upsetting but seeing rickys face light up when they talk about the football on the xbox gives hope that he may improve a bit more as he obviously is aware of whats going on

yeah when the team managers whos are on the bspa comitee or have conections want to change the rules mid season to suit there own teams

they will have known this 1 when they signed him last year with lawson it was a bit diferent

1 thing that has been puzling me its been put on the speddway promotors that they have not been sticking to the rules which we have all or most of us accepted but who was it that granted the likes of mason campton taylour poole and all others there visas ???? suerly there visa aplication should have been regected on the grounds they didnt qualify rather than pass the blame on the promotors

only because they never had 1 acording to the rumours all british speedway teams had there certificates revoked and had to reapply for them

and a rule that was in force at the time as the bspa accepted it

thats the thing some are good enough just havnt dotted the i's and crossed the t's while others who may dot the i's and cross the t's are not good enough to hold down there team place at the levcel required

it all depends on how you read the rules workington maybe read the rules asked a question at the workshop thingy and accepted campton wouldnt meet the required conditions maybe other clubs might still refuse to accept the rules as they will be forced this year

more likely he had lost his dummie again rusty is unpridictable great rider when all is well when its not all well its another story

too be honest i dont care too much where the rider comes from i do care that the teams im paying my money to watch are of good enough standard to make it value for money

i never said he was i actualy said i didnt think he would make a top rider the point was shads said he only looked at riders average not there abilaty to improve there avearge if mason rode at his best all the time and had less machinary issues which he seams to have a lot off who knows he may hit the magic 7pt average

1 of the more realistic posts on here unfortunatly some people just dont see that for 1 reason or another british riders are just not the best option

not really saying that but yes i would say he's slightly better at the moment but not too much on his day with no machinary problems he can do a job but more to the point i was saying there are unlucky riders who are better than the average they sit on some are better than the equipment they can afford also if i was team building he would not have been 1 of the first to be signed theres better out there but i would considor him as part of the overall 7 if the others allowed to take a chance on a rider who MAY improve given a good run

so basicly your saying you dont judge a rider by what you actualy see them doing on track but by the figure the bspa system puts on them avearges dont always tell the true ability of riders

i dont think campton will make a outright top rider but on his day he is good enough for a prem league place above alot of brits who are riding in the national league all this bull about keeping brits out of jobs if there that good they would get a team place some might get a team place a bit easier and make the step up a bit sooner than they would have the simple fact is theres not enough good enough brits to fill team places and give us the standard we expect
